Rumor Mill: Nittany Apts. Fire?

Nittany Apts.People in the area around Nittany Apartments report that there are  lots of EMS, Police, and firetrucks around. All the roads around the complex are blocked. There is no smoke, but something must have happened. If you have any information, let us know and we’ll update this post.

Updated: The commotion was caused by an oven fire, the smoke from which set off the sprinklers. This caused the cavalry (read: fire trucks and policemen) to come to the rescue.

Thanks to our reader, Allie, for the information.

    It might have been a gas leak. The fire company was only there for about an hour. I didn’t see any smoke, but they blocked off Pollock and Bigler for about 25 meters from the intersection where the equipment was.

    It was an oven fire. The biggest problem was the sprinklers set off by the smoke.
